The Aspens Stood Tall Around Me in a Forested Beauty

The Aspens Stood Tall Around Me in a Forested Beauty

White bark scarred with black on each trunk rising to the skies above

Yellow to golden leaves shimmered with each passing breeze

It was autumn with its delight of colors

So I opened my eyes and stood quiet for sounds

Transfixed in a solemn embrace of quaking aspens

 

Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one afternoon in Uinta National Forest while driving the Alpine Loop Drive. Aspen trees and more aspen trees...a true delight to sights and sounds. A favorite place of mine to visit in autumn.
